Why I like them: Because along with Mr. Darcy he is the character I've most often seen given as an example of an INTJ personality (also a Capricorn). Since I am an INTJ (again also a Capricorn), I feel like I identify with parts of the character more than I probably should and in ways that I have difficultly expressing (a fact anyone who has read one of my stamping apps can probably attest to.) Then there is always the fact that Snape is another character who falls under my general love of smart people sitting around being smart. But really the INTJ thing, we need more literary representation. Why I don’t: Cause he's an ass. In general I find that I hate Snape when I read things from Harry's point of view (namely the books) and enjoy Snape when I read things written from his point of view. It tends to be come down to the line between being abusive towards children and being on the snarky end of not suffering fools gladly (so how much is Harry exaggerating in his head?). Favorite episode (scene if movie, book, manga, etc): Er, Killing Dumbledore and his flight from Hogwarts Favorite season/movie/book/volume: can there be one other than HBP? Favorite line: Anything along the lines of "Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'" OTP: Severus/Hermione (again, smart people being smart together) or Snape/Lupin Brotp: Lucius&Severus or Snape&Lupin if there is not Snape/Lupin Head Canon He was totally in some sort of ridiculously bad rock band in the 70s Unpopular opinion - Maybe the fact that I don't need to qualify the side of me that likes Snape with "because he is a really good character." That is just not the way I read. I've never been the person reading with a literary eye, but the person reading with an anthropological or historic eye. I've never cared about symbolism, foreshadowing, etc, but about societal mores and norms of the society which produced a book. (er that sort of went off topic). A wish: I know lots of people want a maurader's era book. If there is one, I would like it to be from Snape's point of view. An oh-god-please-don't-ever-happen: Lol, Three years ago my answer would have been Snape getting laid -- ever. Oh, how times have changed. 5 words to best describe them: Blerg, My descriptor abilities are failing me for this. My nickname for them: N/A.
